Pouring like sand through the hour glass - falling through our hands

The mercurial passage of precious time - now, and forever gone

Cold thoughts bearing vilest conclusions

That one has drawn from their bitter delusions

No fountains of youth to wash away the tears - or erase the pain, perpetually racing as we rage against the grain

Yesterday has long since gone - and it seems that tomorrow never comes

Time: That devours all things - Ravenous fire, all consuming

Eternal flame, ever present - burns hotter and higher

It steals away one's lust for life - First casualty of the routine

skeleton upon which history hangs - now meat falls from the bones

the years fall like leaves - from our disenchanted lives

Let it come as no surprise - let them be gone!

evolution is universal - the eternal role reversal

desperately we search for meaning - still no closer to peace within

No stone unturned in our quest for answers - Just a reason to live
